I'd start with 34* and go from there. Everything I have heard about vortec heads is they don't need a lot of timing dew to the combustion chamber design. You might also need to think about the whole advance curve sence you are running higher than stock compression and no egr. Might have a problem with detonation if you not careful.

I read a test and they had the best luck in the 32 to 34 degree range.
